More to the point, what ought to be a question that should have an obvious and easily-agreed-to answer, is exaggerated to a needless degree and mutated into a partisan issue year after year.I think this is an argument in favor of disclosure of medical conditions that a President suffers and how they are treated. Having a condition that is potentially detrimental to your cognitive processes is in the public interest when you're the person with the most vested power in the country and the public appointed you.
*cough*insistingonfightingeverywherebutcontinentalEuropefortwoyearstocontroltheSuezCanalwhiletheSovietsfoughtandwonthewar*cough*I'm pretty sure I remember reading that in one of the big allied powers conferences in WW2 towards the end, Churchill was frustrated because Roosevelt (clearly reaching the end) seemed extremely listless and was ineffectual at resisting Stalin's constant demands. That's not exactly ideal in a president.
Sorry, I had something caught in my throat.
